Fibromyalia  email this discussion to a friend?

I have read that chronic widespread mascular pain with no obvious cause is fibromylgia. It is relatively common disorder associated with pain and tenderness in muscles, ligaments and joints. People suffering from fibromylgia describe the pain as a deep throbing, shooting and stabing often with a burning sensation.Do you feel something like this any time. I will give you some tips to control:
1 Take flax seed and its oil as flax seeds contain the essential fatty acid omega-3 alphalinolenic acid. that may help relieve the inflammation of fibromylgia.
2 Take Alfalfa seeds, which are ideal for pain relief.
3 Eat a high fibre diet
4 Avoid processed food and pre processed and packaged snacks
5 Avoid caffeine, alcohal and sugar as these substances contribute to fatigue.
6 Drink plenty of water

While all those things have some merit, especially taken as a whole, by themselves they will only make a small difference unless your are in the majority of Fibromyalgia suffers who have only a mild case that can often be treated with OTC meds and exercise.

If you have a moderate case, then (in addition to what you outlined) you will most likely need a handful of medications along with a few herbal and mineral supplements to get back to a reasonably normal life.

If you are in the 5% of Fibromites who have a disablingly severe case, then you need all of the above and more to just make it through the day. If you are like me, you fight your body and the pain using more of your own mind than relying on opiates to numb it.

Lyrica can help. For those of us fighting depression as well, Cymbalta is a good choice (Effexor works better in men). Neurontin (Gabapentin) was the drug that Lyrica was developed from and it is far cheaper as a generic.

Muscle relaxers help with both sleep and exercise. Ambien is a non-addictive sleep med that is available as a generic. Valerian Root is a natural herb that is a powerful sleep med. Chamomille tea with Valeran Root in it is available.

I take some from column A and some from column B.
